2011-10 El Cajon Mountain, Leonids (5.9)

Jason, Joey, Joel and I spent Saturday climbing
Leonids (5.9) on El Cajon Mountain. We only spotted 2 other parties on the rock, I guess the 3 mile 1800' elevation gain hike in keeps crowds down. Jason and I climbed on one rope, while Joey and Joel climbed on the other rope. Jason and Joel lead pitches 1 & 3 with Joey and I leading pitch 2. I was the first up pitch 2 and took a long time stuck at the crux. Eventually I got through it though and the guys were patient - even though they weren't at the most comforable belay station. We were short on water for the hike out and we were all pretty dehydrated once we got back to the cars. Great day of climbing, and definitely slept well after rehydrating.
